    I can relate to the guy's frustration, but I really think law enforcement should have been the ones to move the protestors.

    Lol then you have never watched live feeds from that area. When cops do show up they protect the protestors 90% of the time and block and shut down roads for them. Cops are useless most of the time there and people have jobs to go to. They do eventually remeove them if you have hours to wait for them to do so while they stand there watching.

    If I were there I would have helped the guy clear the street. The stupid woman was screaming "what's wrong with you" like its his fault.

    When people start doing this all the time the road closures will stop. People have died when ambulances could not get through. It should be legal to run them over.

    Agreed. If they are in the road and don't move, chalk them up as too stupid to live.

    Check out the surviving family. You many have daughters and sons to spay and neuter. And deport.

    If I felt as you apparently do, I'd write to my congressman and request that he/she work to change the laws to suit your desires.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    I will confess to being torn. Part of me, probably the civilized, law abiding part, wants to disapprove of the young man's actions - the other part wants to buy him breakfast.

    In incidents like this, I think a case could be made for unlawful detention by the protestors. It may not fly, but it would give you an excuse to kick the dog $#@! out of them to get them to release you.
